Potential barriers and Landau-Zener promotion in the inelastic excitation of 17O by 13C ions
(1986)
- The inelastic excitation of the (1/2)+ (871 keV) state of 17O in the reaction of 13C on 17O is described by a time-dependent quantum mechanical model with two diabatic states and a classical treatment of the radial relative motion. The structures in the angle-integrated cross section are interpreted as caused by the barriers of the angular momentum-dependent potentials. The transition strength is enhanced by the Landau-Zener effect between the levels considered.
